THE COLORADO ZEPHYR.

The American traveller has q good deal Il
put up with. despite the many modern improve
nents which he enjoys the use Of If he pro
cecds much more quickly than his forefathcrs
If he is provided with moro comfort on the
WY he is also exposed to the dangers Of col
lision, teescoping and cremation, not to speak
Of the pcrils Of the railroad restaurant and the
mercilcss cxactions of the slecping-car porter
An these however, he has in measure be-
come accustomed to, and though there nrc
some operations such. for instance, az the skin
ming Of cells alive, which it is doubtful whether
the victims ever really get used to, most Incl
dents Of travel short Of being held down in
the wr,ck of 4 car and roasted to DEATH arc
taken with n certain stolid fatalism by such

Unfortunately, it seems that no sooner have
tho public been broken in to one form of travel
ling torment than now kind is discovered or
developed, and Of tho very newest invention
II has to he said that neither Congress nor the
State Legislatures possess jurisdiction in the
premises. or can do anything whatever to de-
crease the peril or increase the security OF
passengers by rail.
The Colorado Zephyr has been heard of he
fore, as a peculiarly lively and irresponsible
kind of wind, which not only blows where it
lsteth, but evinccs marked cpugnancc to the
pcrpcndicularity Of the objects against which
it impingcs. It is believed that the Washoc
Zephyr and that of Colorado belong to the same
family Certainly their action calls out pre-
ciscly the same class Of commiseratory and OBJ
jurgatory remarks from the human sufferers.
Hitherto these vngrant brcczcs have bccn con
tent with unroofng barns and meeting houses
and capszing cXaspcra'ed pedestrians, but their
latest freak is alarming. As will he seen by
reference TO this mornings dispatches. no lees
than four railroad trains in Colorado were Yes
,cr1ay blown from the track, and one was a
heavy freight train Of thirteen cars. so far "a
heard from, no loss OF life resulted. though
several persons were more or less injured. But
il being blown from the track is hcnccforth
TO I've counted with as one Of the possible CON
tngencics Of railroad travel in the West. the
uncertainties Of that kind OF joumcying will
make tho fortune of all the accident insurance
companies and stimulate the preparation OF
testamentary provisions to the manifest benefit
Of the notarics. The potency Of the Colorado
Zephyr is not likely to DO disputed after this
convincing demonstration. The only wonder
is that anything remains Of Denver or that
Pixies Peak has not been projected bodily into
the next county.

Evidence FOR THE BILL.

The meeting Of the liquor-dcalers at Stclnway
Hall proves that the IIigh-Liccnsc bill can be
relied upon to serve the cause of temperance.
Every one OF tho men who met to protest
against its enactment went there moved by pure
sclf-intcrcst. They believed that tho bill
would "hult their business" that is to saw.
that il would diminish drinking and drunken
ness and for that reason alone they made their
speeches and passed their resolutions. OF
course, their pretended concern lest tho revenue
and the public morals should suffer through the
multiplication of Illicit saloons is all bosh Tho
liquor business has about the same relation to
public morals that burglary hes to tho con-
servation of personal property. The saloon
men should not initiate the hypocrisy Of their
new allies, tho Prohibitionists. by pretending o
regard for that which their whole lives arc
passed in assailing and undermining. Every
body knows what their moral status is, how
ever, and therefore nobody will bc deceived by
their absurd attempt to figure as truly good
citizens. The one fact demonstrated by their
proceedings is that they arc afraid Of the High

C0OPERATLEE INDUSTRY.

Senator Stanford's speech in behalf OF CO
operative industry. ard in support OF the bill
introduced by him to provide for cooperative
organizations in the District Of Columbia and
the Territories, deserves the attention Of all
who are honestly seeking to uplift the con
dition Of labor. Perhaps without intending it.
the Senator made a powerful argument against
the attempted monopolies Of labor called trades
unions or Knights organizations. which strive
TO benefit q part Of the workers by excluding
others, and by limiting production. He argued
at length that the prosperity Of the Nation de-
ponds upon the aggregate production OF its
labor and whatever tends to diminish produc-
ton necessarily tends to defeat the general
prosperity and to lessen the reward Of industry
to each individual. While this is the unavod-
able tendency OF mOnopocs in labor, which
operate to make labor generally no more pro-
ductive than that Of the least industrious work.
er. cooperation has the opposite tendency. The
Senator rightly argues that cooperative or
CARNATIONS tend TO give the strength and ca
pacty of the abcst to all their members.
This distinction II far more important To the
workers Of this country than most OF them re-
alizc. II il true, the ablest Of the labor leaders
see that the standard Of labor tends TO de-
tcrorate through the operation Of trades unions.
which strive to keep their members in employ
ment and resist their discharge even if they
fall below a poor standard Of efficiency, and
which set themselves almost unitcdly against
the apprentice system and the training of boys
to become thorough and efficient workers. No
remedy for these evils can be obtained through
organizations Of workers which are always
prone TO look upon increase Of production rs
a gratuitOus benefit to employers and not TO
labor. The co operative system. on the other
hand. restores the trnc unity Of interest in that
it makes increase Of production viHbly bcncfi-
cial to workers. rs it is always and inevitably
beneficial to them in the long run, even though
they fail TO see it.. Larger production and high
or efficiency Of labor are what the country
needs, and what labor needs. Cooperation
helps to that end. bringing the visible interest
Of workers to bear. while tradcs-union organ
izations almost invariably hinder

THE SINE SORT OF P4RTNERSHIP.

In some of the States capital punishment
for murder is not permitted. In these States
there is still large minority of most estima-
bio citizens who conscientiously believe in the
Mosaic law of life for life, and think that
any milder method of dealing with murder is
a conformation of tho awful crime
Suppose these men should unite with the cut
throats and their friends in active measures
to prevent any punishment for murder, be-
cause they cannot get the punishment they be-

TIE LAW GIN BE ENFORCED.

1t has been asserted time and time again that
it ia useless to hope for tho proper enforcement
Of the Excise Jaws, because they cannot he en-
forced that the tricks and articles under which
tho law can be cheated arc too numerous and
cunning to be successfully beaten. We have
never been impressed with this sort Of weak
apology for failing to do what is right and
necessary under the law. The Excise laws
mono too stringent anyhow. are cordially backed
by public sentiment. They are good, healthful
laws aiming only at tho repression Of gross
sustained by public opinion can be executed
il those who ore charged with that duty choose
10 do it.
New York has never contained more in
solcnt and persistent violator of the law than
the creature Gould, whose infamous dens have
contributed largely to the vice and crime of the
city, Among al the low, filthy places that in
fest Sixth ave- and its vicinity Gould's has long
enjoyed about the worst reputation. Nothing
but fragrant disregard Of duty or motive
even worse ever gave him the shadow OF right
TO prosecute his sinful trade. Nothing but
similar motives has sufiiced to delay his arrest
and conviction so long. When the officers OF
the law made sincere effort to suppress the
fellow, they found it easy enough to do so.
Flight has saved him from prison, but 1t has
served also to show that there is no excuse
for failure vigorously to prosecute every other
such rascal If the Distrct-Attorncy and the
police really want TO stop violations OF the
Excise law, they can do 1t.
